I used a polarizer for most of the pictures. Depending on where I was facing, it brought out the deep blue sky. I had some that the polarizer turned to a rather ugly purple-gray color. I used the 18-55mm kit lens that I bought with my Digital Rebel for most of the pictures. I had my 70-200mm lens, but I was too close to get shots of more than one balloon with it. One thing I found out is that a polarizer doesn't always work well with a wide angle shot. I ended up with some wide angle shots where I had a color gradient to the sky with one end light blue and the other dark blue.
